President cuts ribbon at Tynwald gift shop

Anyone visiting the legislative buildings in Douglas can now pick up a souvenir or two from a new gift shop.

The store, which officially opened yesterday (Tuesday), sells unique Tynwald keepsakes, Manx tartan, jewellery and fudge.

There is also an exhibition area, which is currently displaying Archibald Knox inspired artwork by year six Scoill Ree Gorree pupils.

President of Tynwald Noel Cringle cut the ribbon (play audio file):

The children with Mr Cringle all have artwork in the exhibition, and they are Amy Routledge, Charlotte Kinnin, Josh Corteen, Barry Logan and Peter Morgan.
